The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

Just finished The Reader by Bernhard Schlink, a very moving read, one of those books that makes you want to turn the page, did recall to VIEWS the great 70s movie the Summer of 42, another rites of passage movie. I think all men who have had a disastrous relationship with women have a Hanna somewhere in their past, no not they have a SS Concentration Guard as a love interest, but in that generic woman we define what a WOMAN is to us men, we look for her again and again, the same colour hair, eyes but more important that feeling being in love. The problem is that we are so stuck in the past we never see the future, and when we see the mistake its far to late, far to late.
